We expect a steady uptick that stands out prominently from the generally subdued performance in other segments. A solid 3.2-percent increase in sales volume for small domestic appliances is projected for 2026. In 2027, momentum will continue to build, and the market will grow by 3.7 percent. Over the entire two-year period from 2025 to 2027, the segment is thus expected to show an impressive cumulative growth of 7.0 percent and to confidently maintain its top position as the fastest-growing segment of the overall TCG market.
